whimsical creature - a journey of five lifetimes lyrics
from the transvolcanic mountain range in southern mexico
heading north as far as they can go
it can take five generations to reach their destination
their short lives spent fluttering and laying eggs
their caterpillars hatch and instinctively continue
the adventure their parents have begun
and those who start the mission will never see its end
but their children’s children’s children will win through
a journey of five lifetimes (navigating)
ovеr six thousand miles (over a nation)
crossing a continent and back again
(navigating ovеr a nation)
summer’s days are ending, the evening’s drawing in
our heroes start to hear the southern call
and as the nights grow colder their journey will begin
returning to the land of their mothers
but these b+tterflies are not like quite their antecedents
with nearly thrice the lifespan they head south
they can cover thousands of miles before they’re done
returning to a place they’ve never been!
a journey of five lifetimes (navigating)
over six thousand miles (over a nation)
crossing a continent and back again
join the celebration (as they cl+ster)
of this natural phenomenon (in their thousands)
dia de los muertos can begin
